Marrying A Secret Zillionaire: Happy Ever After Novel

Chapter 1256: "Collin..." She barely managed to get out his name before Collin's strong hand gripped her waist, holding her in place with firm authority. His head dipped low, and he kissed her with a passion that would not be denied. The kiss lingered, refusing to end. When Linsey opened her eyes the next morning and climbed out of bed, she heard water running in the bathroom nearby. The memories from last night rushed back to her, sending a flush of embarrassment to her cheeks. She couldn't help but feel grateful that her period had started at just the right time.

If it weren't for that, she might have given in to Collin's persistence. In an attempt to compose herself, Linsey gently patted her cheeks and finally stepped away from the bed. Just then, the bathroom door swung open. Collin rolled his wheelchair out, naked, his muscles sharply defined, radiating a quiet strength that came with maturity. A small gasp escaped Linsey as soon as she caught sight of him. She quickly shielded her face with her hands, her voice coming out slightly scolding between her fingers.

"Why are you coming out here with nothing on?" Collin caught her reaction, frowned, and shot her a look. "You've seen me naked before. Why pretend to be embarrassed now?" Feeling a twinge of annoyance, Linsey dropped her hands and retorted, "What's wrong with expecting you to put on clothes after a shower? People usually get dressed-this is hardly different from running around outside with nothing on!" Their argument started early, filling the room with their back-and-forth banter. Realizing there was no point in dragging it out, Collin decided to let the matter drop.

Soon, footsteps echoed in the hallway, and the butler knocked at their door, announcing that breakfast was ready. After finishing their meal, they made their way outside to say goodbye to the Riley family. But before they could go far, a black van screeched to a halt in front of them. With practiced precision, both the passenger door and the rear doors swung open, and two large men in black suits stepped out. Collin's instincts took over. He immediately grabbed Linsey's hand, his other hand moving to rest on his waist, ready to draw his gun if needed.

The next moment, a breathtakingly beautiful woman appeared before their eyes. Sunlight poured over her, highlighting her long legs, hourglass figure, and delicate features, making her appear almost radiant. Linsey could only stare in awe at how stunning the woman looked. She found herself quietly admiring the stranger, a strange sense of recognition lingering, even though she couldn't remember where she might have seen her before.

While Linsey tried to place her, Collin remained composed, showing no sign of surprise. He recognized the woman. The moment it clicked for him, he eased up and gently released Linsey's hand. Across from them, the woman's serious look transformed in an instant as she caught sight of Collin. With a burst of joy, she threw her arms open and wrapped him in a hug, calling out his name as if she hadn't seen him in years. Linsey felt a jolt of shock. Did they already know one another? From the woman's ease and affection, she wondered if this could be a friend of Collin's.

Her thoughts were interrupted when the woman suddenly turned her attention toward her. "And you are?" she asked, her eyes narrowing in a way that seemed loaded with meaning. . . .
